Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thurlton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Thurlton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thurlton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thurlton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Questions from Thurlton

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Thurlton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are there extra charges for Thurlton?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you come to Thurlton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thurlton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites

Repair or replace in Thurlton?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
